not creepy or scary but I'll tell it anyway
When I was a KD pledge at the University of Maryland, the sisters told us about a ghost named Alma who was a Kappa Delta in the 1920's and for years had supposedly haunted the chapter house.
I never saw or heard anything that suggested that Alma existed, but the story was that she lived in the turret room (the house has a turret in the front) and could be seen dancing on the front lawn at night.
Well, during our initiation week all the pledges slept in a big room in the "attic." As a joke, late one night, one of the sisters (Chrissy) put white make-up on her face and arms, dressed up in an old-fashioned white gown and started twirling around in circles on the front lawn.
Another one of the sisters came up to the attic, woke us all up yelling "look outside on the lawn! It's Alma!" Well, one of my pledge sisters saw this and COMPLETELY freaked. She was screaming and crying hysterically. The sister who woke us up had to calm her down. She kept saying "It's just Chrissy!!!"
I felt bad for my pledge sister and I suppose today that incident would be considered hazing, but personally I thought the whole thing was kind of funny.
I wonder if the legend of Alma is still going on at UMD.
